1.Detect new inbound SMS received
Integrate Close to classify inbound SMS replies and trigger lead matching for enrollment decisions.
Add confirmed SMS responders to a follow-up sales sequence
Automatically monitor new inbound SMS received in Close across outbound sales workflows. Automatically create and update sequence enrollments when SMS arrives, phone matches lead, or link is explicitly confirmedβso you can classify replies, add confirmed contacts, and queue follow-up outreach without manual follow-up.
How this automation accelerates follow-up outreach
When new inbound SMS received goes unreviewed, warm prospects can miss the right follow-up window. This automation finds leads, filters records, classifies link confirmation, and enrolls confirmed contacts into a sales sequenceβso your team can respond faster.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism β I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
